Service for Tone Alert Radios will be discontinued at midnight on Thursday April 30th. Tone Alert Radios were issued to schools, churches, hospitals, nursing homes, and special needs individuals as part of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP). People who utilized the Tone Alert Radios should now rely on their Emergency Alert Radios, which were distributed as part of a program with FEMA earlier this year.
Due to battery disposal, people are requested not to throw away their units. Various county volunteer fire departments, in conjunction with the Gadsden/Etowah County Emergency Management Agency, are setting up a recycling program to dispose of the units properly. More details of this program will be made available once the program is finalized.
For more information, please contact the Gadsden/Etowah County Emergency Management Agency at 549-4575.
